Jeff LaBar, guitarist for the hard rock band Cinderella, which rose to multi-platinum status in the late 1980s, has died at age 58. No cause of death has been given.
Cinderella had not recorded an album since 1994 but had continued to tour until a few years ago, at which point they irretrievably broke up, according to band members.
On his Twitter account, LaBar made it clear that he was getting a new start when he described his current status as a ?culinary school student studying to become a chef.? He frequently posted photos of his culinary concoctions on his Instagram account.
The musician?s son first shared news of the death on Instagram Wednesday. ?So i just got the call? Jeff LaBar, my father, my hero, my idol, passed away today. I?m currently at a loss for words. I love you pop! ? If you could, please share pictures or video of all the fun times we all had with my dad. It would be greatly appreciated.?
TMZ reported that LaBar?s first wife, Gaile LaBar-Bernhardt, told the outlet she had found the musician dead Wednesday inside his apartment in Nashville after no one had been able to reach him for several days.
?Heavy hearts cannot begin to describe the feeling of losing our brother Jeff,? former Cinderella band members Tom Keifer, Eric Brittingham and Fred Coury said in a joint statement. ?The bond between us over decades of creating music and touring the world is something that we as a band uniquely shared. Those memories with Jeff will be forever alive in our hearts. It?s unimaginable that one of our band brothers has left us. We?re sending his wife Debinique, his son Sebastian, family, and friends our deepest condolences. Jeff?s memory and music will be with us forever. We all ? band, family and management ? appreciate the overwhelming outpouring of love.?
